Original 02R and control surface

Dear Logic Users,
This is a brilliant forum! I've always been amazed by the knowledge of everyone out there.
This time, I have a really tricky problem to solve.
I've obtained a Yamaha 02R and I wish to use it as a control surface in Logic. Although it's not directly supported, I've read you can use the learn features of Logic to connect via midi.
I also have a MOTU Midi Express XT.
When I select menu Apple Pro Logic --> Preferences --> Control Surfaces --> Learn parameter 'no parameter selected' or 'controller assignments' and learn
The motu midi express seems to beam the synchronisation tick without giving me chance to move a fader on my 02R.
Does anyone know how I can disable this feature in my MOTU.
Or - does anyone know how i can setup a port and parameter I can learn.
I know I've got a long way to go, but any help here would be amazing.
Kind regards,
Andrew

Currently, my settings in the Yam 02R are as follows:

Maybe I need to link these to the transmit and receive in Logic? would anyone know how to do this?

Premiere Pro and control surfaces

Does Premiere Pro have support for control surfaces like the Mackie MCU Pro or the Avid Artist Control?
Thank you.

Support is new in CC, but I don't know which specific models are supported. You might try a Google search.

Control surface with keyboard controller

I'm fairly new to Logic and sequencing (but not Macs) so I'm on a steep learning curve.
I set up Logic with a Yamaha 01x as an interface and control surface. That's working o.k (after some dramas). I play software synths with an Edirol PCR controller keyboard. What I want to do dedicate the 01x to sequencer and mixing duties and assign the keyboard knobs and sliders to soft synth controls, (preferably globally - as in not plug-in by plug-in). When I try to use the learn function on a soft synth it doesn't want to take the assignment. It flashes the name of the keyboard briefly then reverts back to the name of the 01x port. I'm thinking it has something to do with the fact the keyboard is a separate USB midi interface. Whatever it is, I don't know where to find a set-up page for the keyboard or the combination of the keyboard and the 01x. Funny thing is, setting up my keyboard is so easy in MainStage which is part of the same software suite.
I can't find anything in the manual that deals with this sort of hardware controller combination. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I still can't get this working so I am posting some more information in case someone can see a glaring hole in my logic (pun definitely intended).
I have tried setting up controller assignments in both the Logic preferences and by the learn function within the plug-ins. My keyboard is a USB MIDI interface but it is not seen as a control surface by Logic. (As you say, Bee Jay, that's a good thing). It is sending out notes and controller messages on its own discrete port, port 1 (of two), channel 1. The synths in MainStage can see my keyboard and my control surface just fine. I can't see why it should be any different with Logic? Certain controllers always work (pitch bend, mod wheel pan volume and aftertouch). I have not been able to assign any of the other controls of any soft synth. Even if I set the soft synth destination to receive a source I know the keyboard is putting out (I can see it on the transport bar input display), it still doesn't work the control. I've tried deleting all "learned" controllers and starting again - Many times now.
Needless to say, I'm getting to that stage. . .

Using Logic Pro 9 and Tascam DM-4800. Can't get the Tascam to work as a control surface via firewire... any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

The DM-4800 and Logic see each other, the firewire shows as 'locked' on both. Can pass audio back and fourth, no automation from the Tascam though. I know its either a midi setting or control surface settings... but I'm stumped. Newbie at Logic here. Any ideas what to check? Thanks in advance!

Plug in the usb lead.

Control surface and interface at the same time

Is it possible to plug in a control surface and an interface at the same time? My plan is to use a Mackie Control Universal Pro (USB) for my control surface and a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 IO Firewire Interface for monitor use during mixing. Will Logic Pro 9 allow me to do this?

Thank you

02R96 and other Yamaha control surfaces - break Learn Assignment?

Can someone throw some light on this:
The 02R96 and other Yamaha control surfaces send out this Active Sensing thing, which is just a real, downright nuisance for all kinds of reasons.
1) How am I supposed to get plug-in parameter assignments automatically learnt if the 02R96's active sensing keeps jumping in every second? Logic thinks that's the MIDI message I want to assign to my parameter! There doesn't seem to be a way of telling the learn process to ignore what's going on on a certain MIDI port. Result: can't automate my plug-ins. There seems to be no way of doing it.
2) Another thing about active sensing - you can't get Logic to just shaddup about it if the control surface isn't on. What if I want to keep my 02R96 turned off for some reason? There should be a Disable control surface button or something - anything to prevent having to remove the 02R96 setup entirely from the Logic session! Really not good...any thoughts or insights? (especially on the parameter learning stuff..that's a real show stopper)

The Mackie Control support lets you edit all parameters of instuments and effects plugins. If you don't have a Mackie Control, you can also use John Pitcairn's LCXmu, which acts as a virtual Logic Control translator between your controller and Logic.
I have a Korg microKontrol running with LCXmu, and it's excellent, way better than Logic'a native mK support, and you can access all instrument & plugin parameters, with the names coming up on the mK screens etc.
Have a look at LCXmu at OpusLocus and see whether your hardware is a directly supported device. Even if it isn't, you can still use it, you just have to set up some manual mapping stuff, depending on what buttons etc you have on your controller.
Otherwise, you are back to manually assigning parameters using Logic's controller assignments - but they are buggy.
I have to say that LCXmu has completely solved all controller issues I had using the micoKontrol as a little portable controller. It's ace.

Logic 9 and Logic Control Surface

I recently received a Behringer BCF2000 as a gift and have successfully set it up in LC (Logic Control) mode. I'm having an odd problem, however, as the control surface only is receiving from Logic and changes on the BCF2000 are not reflecting in logic. When I change sliders/pan positions/etc in Logic, the BCF2000 reflects these changes. However, pressing buttons on the BCF2000 is unresponsive and if I move a slider, the motorized fader will return to the position as set in Logic.
I have been scouring the manuals for a solution, I'm sure it's something simple but I'm getting very frustrated. Any help would be immensely appreciated. Thanks!

Indeed.
Remove the control surface driver, and use LC Xmu instead. It's the absolute best way to use the Korg controllers with Logic, and has just about every feature you want/need.

Logic 9 and Korg Kontrol 49 as a control surface

You have got to be kidding me. Logic's implementation a for the Korg Kontrol 49 is a joke.
Let's starts with the basic's. Mod Wheel does not work, sustain pedal does not work.
When I run Reason, the K-49 is a dream, everything works perfectly.
It has got to the point where I remove the K-49 driver from inside the Logic app, so I don't have to delete it from the control surface setup every time I start Logic.
If the Propellorheads can do it right so can Logic/Apple.

Info please...control surface and mixer for fcp and audio recording

i'm looking for a control surface for final cut pro and also xlr/line inputs for recording guitar and vocals in cubase or audacity.
read all the info here after numerous searches. still some questions.
was looking at the tascam 1082 but not sure of the build quality...i saw one and it looked a bit cheaply built. the two demos at guitar center were falling apart. didn't look nearly as well built as the mackie. also i have been reading here and elsewhere about bugs/problems etc.
was looking at the m-audio...not sure about that one...$1250...
was also looking at mackie control surface...but no firewire...how do you hook it up to a mac? also no audio inputs. what would i need to buy to work in conjunction with that for recording audio? if i bought the mackie, i'd still have to buy an audio inpur device and that would end up costing as much as the m audio.
i know i could just buy a mixer for recording and forget the control surface...i already have a shuttle pro which works fine and i have gotten used to using the mixer in fcp...no problems. but the motorized faders on a control surface sure would be nice
so questions:
how does the mackie connect to a mac and what other device(s) would i need to record audio and how would they hook up...would they play nice together?
ppl who own the tascam...happy with it? used the mic and line preamps? are they noisy?
do i need an additional firewire bus reguardless of which control surface i get?
how does one route the audio for these when in fcp? i currently route my audio through my dsr 11 deck. will the control surface just go through firewire or would i have to actually jack into the control surface with additional cables and have to remove my present cables from my speakers everytime i want to use the control surface?
sorry so many questions. it's really tough to make an informed decision in buying something if you don't understand the mechanics of it.
btw, appreciate the info so far that i found doing my searches.
thanks
carl

I've got the Tascam FW1082 and I absolutely love it. I can't believe I ever edited without it. I'm considering upgrading to the 1884 in the future.
As for the mic preamps, they sound great. Nice and clean. There's no such thing as a line preamp, but the line inputs are clean as well.
For routing, I go to the 1082 via firewire until I turn on my external video monitor, at which point I send both video & audio to the deck and route the audio from the deck into a pair of the mixer's analog inputs. That way you avoid the delay of external monitoring. The 1082 allows you to listen to both the computer & the inputs at the same time, so switching back and forth is seamless.
As for durability, I've had it out on a few location recordings, but most of the time it's on my desk. It's still in mint condition. I'm sure if it was on a display where any 10 year old could come mess with it, it wouldn't be in as great of shape, but then again, a Neve console wouldn't look that great if every little brat that walked in the door could play with it. If you take care of your stuff, you'll have no issues with this mixer.

Using an Edirol PCR-300 as a keyboard and MIDI control surface. Any luck

In the manual for the Edirol it lists 8 or 10 templates for Logic and then doesn't go on to say exactly what they do. I tried adding the PCR from the list of supported surfaces but it's not there.
There is some instruction in the PCR manual to open the Audi0o Midi data manager and create nodes with connections, but I'n not sure exactly what the point of that is supposed to be.
After doing some digging I found something that that the Edirol had to be supported in Mackie emulation mode. I recently did some major problematic upgrades and lots of this appear to be lost. I don't know which Mackie mode it supports. My guess it would be HUI, because unlike the MCU the Edirol isn't really bidirection is this correct?
I think I had it working before the upgrade, but now I've got the old problem back. I can get the control surface to sort of work and then when I touch a regular key the whole screen goes crazy with windows popping up and down then disappearing.
I think for some reason the Edirol is sending out messages that are telling Logic to frequently cycle through screen sets. I did think I had figured out this problem once before after diligent searching, but I forgot how I did it.
Any ideas on how to get the Edirol PCR-300 to play well with Logic?

Yes I have installed the drivers as the PCR 300 works with Logic 8.

Adobe Audition 6 and Mackie MCU Pro Control Surface

I have recently opbtained a Mackie MCU Pro Control Surface, for use with Adobe Audition CS6. At first I used it with an HP i7 running Windows 8. It worked like a dream, doing everything that I expected of it. Now, I have plugged it to my Laptop, running Windows 7 Home Premium. Sadly it refuses to respond to any commands in either direction. The PC giives the two-note ackowledgment that the USB is comminucating. However, that's as far as it goes.
Audition on the laptop knows what's connected and all options offer the USB connected device correctly named. Whatever I do, there is no sign of the Mackie MCU Pro waking up. It just seems to sit there, probably thinking it's a 'fridge or a toaster.
Has anyone else used this combination and did it work OK? I'm sure I'm mssing something obvious and there's an 'enable' of some sort. Can anyone offer any thoughts?
Thabk you for your time and help.
Alan

I have completely reset the Laptop (Packard Bell Easynote) to factory defaults and reinstalled Audition from scratch. It is now exactly the same as that installed on the desktop, except that the Laptop is Windows 7 (64-bit Home Premium) and the Desktop is Windows 8.
I was hopeful that a fresh install of Audition CS6 would set the Mackie Control Surface off and running. Sadly, it is not the case.
So:
With precisely the same software (same source and same S/N) the Mackie worlks correctly with the Desktop but doesn't work at all with the laptop.
Just for the record, when plugging the USB from the Mackie to the laptop, it produces the usual two-tone acknowledgement that it is seeing something it recognises, but that is as far as it goes.
I'm now at a loss. Does anyone have any further thoughts?
Many thanks,
Alan

Im looking for the cheapest and smallest transport control surface to use with logic 9(and X when i upgrade my lappy). usb.

Ive seen the presonus faderport but there looks to be lots of problems? is this still the case or has it been fixed?
Or have you any info on godens...if there even is?
cheers.x

If I could make a suggestion. I too have the Axiom49 and love it. I would not get rid of it. But for control of Logic, I use the Presonus FaderPort. It works flawlessly. Plug it into a USB port, add the Mackie HUI controller in the preferences, set the input and output (of that control surface) to the FaderPort, and your done. Motorized fader, limitless pan knob, etc. You may want to look into this little gem. It will be less expensive than a new MIDI controller, that's for sure.

Logic Pro X inaccessible after waking from sleep when using an MCU Control Surface

I'm having a problem I cannot seem to get around without force quitting Logic every time. If I have a Control Surface setup as a Mackie Control (v1.0); and if the computer goes to sleep, and then i turn off the controller while the computer is asleep (for any reason), and then wake the computer without turning on the controller first, Logic becomes completely unusable and must be force quit.
My controller in this example is Solid State Logic's Nucleus controller, however it happens with other Mackie Control compatible controllers (i have another one i tested against), BUT not a real Mackie Controller sold by Mackie (i tested with that as well); more details below.
For the SSL controller, Logic automatically sets it up like this:
Now if the computer goes to sleep, and i wake it up, i get the following dialog, which is fine:
After clicking on "Continue" button or hitting the enter key, Logic is rendered useless, as if there is a modal dialog still open somewhere. Clicking anywhere on the gui results in white flashes and nothing else. doing cmd+Q to quit actually makes it try to quit (a save dialog appears), but it never does successfully quit, making me resort to force-quitting. For an example, here's a pic of the file menu at this point:
I also have a regular Mackie Control Unit (MCU Pro) and the strange thing is with that unit, everything works fine after sleep, turning off controller, and re-awakening. However, there is a difference in what kind of dialog is displayed after the sleep, which probably has something to do with this issue.
Here is the setup screen of the MCU Pro:
And here is the dialog for the missing ports after waking from sleep:
This dialog is completely different than the other control surface's missing ports dialog. When clicking on "Keep unassigned" here, Logic resumes working fine.
The project is as minimal as possible; nothing is loaded, all that's there is an empty instrument track and a Control Surface configured.
I'm using a Mac Mini (late 2012)
Processor 2,6 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000
Software OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
with Logic Pro X 10.0.7
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Did you ever figure out a solution to this problem?
I just pulled out my original Emagic Logic Control (MIDI) and I have having the same problem.

What is a good control surface for Logic X

Hello All I am thnking about purchasing logic X in the future and wanted to hear opinions on good control surfaces in the $3,000 range. Hit me up with your opinions.
Stuart

I heard there were gliches with the Tascam 4800. That is what I originally planned on getting, but it seems that it is increasingly more difficult to find an outlet that is selling that mixer. I suppose this means a newer version is about to be introduced.

I have set up a second iTunes user account on my PC, but when I create the new iTunes account it copies the music, videos etc from the original account and they seem to be linked. What am I doing wrong?

I have set up a second iTunes user account on my PC, but when I create the new iTunes account it copies the music, videos etc from the original account and they seem to be linked, so that when I delete a song from one library it deletes from the other one.
On the online tutorials I've seen it shows that when you create a new iTunes library it should open as a blank account, but that isn't happening.
What am I doing wrong?

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
